It is Every Thing! I notice that in all my work and play.

I can give you an initial description. I used to focus on opening the back thigh by rolling the leg so the knee wouldn't point down, but now I roll and drop the back hip (i.e. ass bone) slightly, allowing my inner thigh to naturally rotate up. My knee follows. This let me put more weight on my back leg, and makes more room for my torso, so it settles into the pose better.

That was really hard to describe.

@Fritillaria2 Cool! I *think* I maybe got you. I could feel the more weight on the back leg thing for sure! It'll be something I try to keep in mind in my practice from now on - and I'll think of you!

@compostablespork

You're welcome. It only works for me on one side so far.

@Fritillaria2 I'm not sure I'm doing it right, but it is cool to bring my attention to the hips! 💚

@compostablespork

You can generalized that for *every* yoga pose and every yoga session, so you're "doing it" right. (Now, don't forget the abdomen. ;)

@Fritillaria2 Oh yeah, I *always* forget the abs unless I'm conciously trying to remember them...

@compostablespork I started my home yoga routine for totally vain reasons: getting my abs "in shape". I built my entire routine around and out of that core routine, so I pretty much never forget my abs. Other stuff? Yup.

And yoga is *totally* bad ass.

@Fritillaria2 Bad abs too! In a good way!

Can I say one more thing about Warrior II? Unorthodox, but I like to turn my palms up most of the time, not down. It opens my chest and just feels more joyful, I don't know.

@Fritillaria2 Oh! Totally - I'm all ears! Come talk yoga to me anyday!

I was taught to start palms up and get my shoulders engaged before turning the palms down - so I get that opening feeling you're talking about. Also makes me feel like a badass when I turn them down. (Ahem, joyful seems more virtuous). Also yoga is so badass

I just messed with it a little, and the action seems to take place in the hip socket, with the motion back-and-down as the starting point for the adjustment.
